- In Bishkek, suspects involved in the illegal collection of money from foreign citizens have been detained, according to information from the press service of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB).

According to the committee's data, on February 9, 2026, GKNB officers detained two individuals known as representatives of the so-called "sportobshchak" — "D.Z." and "R.u.A.".

The preliminary investigation revealed that these individuals were extorting money from foreign citizens.

“During the inspection, it was found that "D.Z." and "R.u.A." systematically extorted money from truck drivers transporting goods from the "Dordoi" trade center to neighboring countries for 15 years, threatening physical violence and demanding payment for each bag and cargo vehicle.

It was established that "D.Z.", having connections in law enforcement, previously had no criminal record.

His connection to criminal elements has also been confirmed, including participation in organized crime groups (OCGs) led by K.Asanbek and R.Akmatbaev,” the press release states.

In this case, the Main Investigation Department of the GKNB of the Kyrgyz Republic initiated a criminal case under Article 261, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the detainees "D.Z." and "R.u.A." have been placed in the detention center of the GKNB of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Currently, investigative actions are ongoing to identify other participants in this criminal scheme.
